Scenes From Yesterday

Last night I was so happy to be vomit free that I started writing a jaunty little post in my sleep... something to let you into the window of my delirious experience riding the pale horse. It goes a little something like this.

I woke up Wednesday still feeling pretty out of sorts... kind of exactly like an extra head had sprouted from my Bob Ross mustache.

Facing my fears mustache on, I ate a banana and a party proceeded to throw down in my tummy. But it wasn't really a good party -- it was one of those parties you hit after way too many drinks, only to find all the dudes have herpes and they're serving Mad Dog 20/20 with a splash of coke.

Then, inexplicably I began to feel better... way better. Kind of sparkly and full of magic and light. At this point I considered watching Legend on the telly but turned to the trusty net instead. Oh internet, you never fail to amuse me. (worth waiting through the commercial, trust me)

Then I hooked up with Minty, brought to you by the lovely ladies of Atlanta, Susie, Nelya and Jenny. I spent over an hour ogling the wares and plotting another move closer to:

This rug. And Susie's adorable boots.

That INCROYABLE Maitland Smith tesselated console table, those lamps, Jenny's art, the rug... all of it.

And there might be a chair pair that I'm mentally hoarding for myself.

Don't wait until you're weak and sickly to shop like I did. Go to there.

So, that's how my day went yesterday. You can see how very productive I've been (as in not at all), but since I'm actually going to live I think I may need to start planning for the future, which means laundry and Christmas shopping and working.

I'm pretty excited to do those things.

Thankful, even.

Puking and Olioboarding

Sorry for the radio silence yesterday, but I have the pukey virus so bad that I can barely hold my head up. It's actually taking extreme effort just to type this, and in fact I may have to leave for a second to... That's better. So before I caught yet another iteration of the bubonic plague, I had been working on a moodboard for our pesky double height living room. This is about as far as I've gotten:

New couch, new chairs, new benches, new art: check, check, check and check. Painted fireplace and some kind of awesome screen. Wall mounted tv (sorry y'all, I kind of like it there because I can watch it from the kitchen while I cook) with hidden components.

What's missing??? The ceiling fans. Yes, they're still in here, but think how much better this room would look with a pair of badass chandeliers instead of fans... too bad Texas is so damn hot in the summer. We're going to wait until then to see how miserable it would be without them.

So this is what I'm thinking for now (minus the scale issues... I really should learn CAD). Concerns? Questions?

I may or may not be able to address them today.
